Helicopter medevaced crew member of US submarine for medical treatment in Nuuk
On the weekend of Feb 21/22, 2026, a crew member of an American submarine was medevaced by a Seaahawk helicopter from the Danish inspection ship 'Vædderen' to be treated at the hospital in Nuuk: The US Navy had needed help from the Greenlandic health system when the crew member on the submarine - which for unknown reasons was seven miles off Nuuk in the Nuuk Bay - became so seriously ill that he required hospital treatment. A helicopter from the Danish inspection ship 'Vædderen' evacuated the crew member and flew him to the hospital in Nuuk for treatment.
Vædderen shadowing Esperanza
The "Vædderen" is currently shadowing the Greenpeace-boat "Esperanza", which has moved into waters east of Greenland to protest against Arctic oil drilling. Denmark can thus be heading into a confrontation with Greenpeace. The "Esperanza" is following the oil rig "Leiv Eiriksson", owned by Scottish oil company Cairn Energy, which has a permission to drill for oil off Greenland. The Navy allegedly sent armed commandos on board the rig. The "Vædderen" is officially carrrying out maritime surveillance in the area and will monitor developments and report what the "Esperanza" is doing. Cairn Energy plans to implement four test wells at depths around 1.5 km, which supposedly is the deepest drill ever attempted in the Arctic waters.
